BRIGHTON.-SUNDAY. Their Majesties, the Princess Augusta, and the Duchess of Gloucester, attended Divine Service this morning. Prayers ware read by the Rev. Dr. Everard, and the Rev J. S. M. Anderson preached from the 3d chapter of Mala chi, Ist and part of 2d verses. The choir chanted King's service in F, and sang an anthem composed by Clark, from the 147th Psalm. Lord Hill, the Commander-in-Chief, arrived yesterday at the Norfolk Hotel, and in the evening dined with their Majesties. Yesterday was one of those dark foggy days peculiar to this country at this season of the pear. Neither their Ma jesties nor any of the Court were seen in public. The wea ther to-day has been very unfavourable for out-of-door ex ercise. His Majesty, however, accompanied by Mdlle. D'Este, has taken a carriage drive this afternoon. The Queen has not bean out. Prince. Edward of Saxe-Weimar will not go to the Mili tary College at Sandhurst at present, but will be placed with a clergyman near Reading, for whose residence he quits Brighton to-morrow. The Royal dinner party on Friday evening, by invitation, comprised General Crosbio, Sir James Reynett, Major- General Sir John Elley, Sir G. and Lady Shiffner, Earl of Chichester, Lord Gage, and Sir Robert Gordon. Yesterday their Majesties entertained to dinneethe Mar quis of Bristol, Mr. Lawrence Peel, Mr. and Mrs. G. Daw son, Earl and Countess Jermyn, Vice-Admiral Sir R. Ot way, Captain Eden, R.N., Vice-Admiral Donnelly, Mr. Frederick Seymour, Lord Hill, Earl and Countess of Errol, and Sir Robert Gordon. Yesterday the King granted audiences to the Earl of Westmoreland, Vice- Admiral Donnelly, Captain Becher, R.N., and Major Longley. The calls at the Pal a ce yesterday comprised the Earl and Countess of Wicklow, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Mar joribanks, Major-General Sir John Elley (on leaving), Sir Martin Arthur Shee, P.R.A., Dowager Countess of Guild ford, Lieut.-Colonel J. S. and Lady Susan Doyle. Prince Esterhazy and his son quitted the Norfolk Hotel oil Friday, for London. The Earl of Errol returned yesterday from Aylesbury. DUBLIN.--SATURDAY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) " Omnia mala exempla ex bonis orta sunt : sed übi impe rium ad ignaros ant minus bonos pervenit ; novum illud (ex emplum) a dignis et idoneis ad indignos et non idoneos trans. fertur."—SALLUST. This being the day appointed by the Court of Exchequer for arguing the question raised by Mr. Dickson, as to the irregularity attending the issue of the rebellion writs now convulsing the country, the Court was crowded to excess at an early hour, by those who were curious to witness O'Connell's forensic efforts on this occasion. The public curiosity was the more intense, in consequence of a colli sion which took place in that Court yesterday, between the Chief-Baron Joy and the Attorney-General Mr. Richards, and which has excited deep interest among all parties. The discussion on the rebellion writs is postponed ; and I shall, therefore, proceed to give you an account of yesterday's rencountre between the bench and the bar—a thing almost unprecedented in this country, at least since the classic days of Curran and Lord Clare. It may be 'in the recollection of your readers, that a trial was had at Bar in this country not long since, between the Crown and the Primate, in ‘Thich a verdict was given by a Special Jury, brought from the county of Cavan (I think), iu favour of the latter. The Jury had been detained in town some days ; and when the trial was over the Court ordered the solicitor for the Crown in that cause to pay them 20 guineas each for their expenses. It appeared then and now, that the Court has no power by statute or com mon law to order the expenses of a Special Jury to be paid under such circumstances. And it was because the soli citor refused to comply with the order, that a motion was yesterday made for the purpose of having that order con firmed or abrogated. The writer of this was present during a great portion of the time occupied with the trial ; and admired the acumen and dexterity evinced by the Chief- Baron during its progress, in guarding the Jury from the influence which the Attorney and Solicitor-Gen era l s o f t h at _ _ time, Mr. Blackburne and tale present Judge Crompton, were, in the discharge of their duty, exercising over them. Mr. Crompton, in particular, seemed to suffer, in some of his best positions, from the well directed sallies of the Learned Chief; and though he showed much courage and ability in sustaining the rights of his c li en t, h e did no t re . tort any of the missiles directed towards him from the bench. I have said I admired the Chief's conduct during' the trial, because it manifested much shrewdness, and ap parently judicial independence. During his charge to the Jury, however, my admiration was changed into something more than surprise, when I found him not merely marshall ing the evidence and interpreting the law with precision and discernment, but bestowing the most undisguised satire and invective on the officers of the Crown, which they bore in patience and in silence. Nor did any person then censure either the severity of the bench or the servility of the bar, not withstanding the " spirit of the age," and Reform had consi derably advanced in this country. How different was the scene yesterday. After it had clearly appeared from the arguments of the Solicitor-General, and those opposed to him, that the only grounds the Court could have for making the order were, the justice of some compensation from some quarter or other to the Jury for their loss of time and money, the Attorney-General stood up to contend that such a feel ing would not justify the Court in establishing a precedent, which might at another time be greatly abused. The Attorney-General having urged this view of the case with great eloquence and ability, the Chief Baron dryly ob served, if he had nothing more to say, whfit he had said was " idle," The Learned Fu nc ti ona ry immediately stood up, and in a burst of manly and indignant eloquence, never perhaps equalled, repeated his former arguments in so felicitous a manner, as, while observing decorum and de ference, to impress on the Court a lesson which will not soon be forgotten. To the Bench he administered a castigation richly deserved, and which cannot be complained of even by those who provoked it. And to the Bar and bystanders ha exhibited a principle of piire unsophisticated indepen dence, which is calculated to excite an excellent spirit of patriotism at this particular juncture. Mr. Richards is unquestionably the first man who has dared to grapple with the political prejudices and partizanship which the ermine itself cannot mitigate or conceal. He showed a similar spirit, not long ago, in the same Court, in an argument on the rebellion tithe process. On that occasion Shiel, who is no mean authority in such a matter, was heard to say that Richards had opened a new vista through which the light of justice and reason would shine benignantly in Ireland. The best way to reform bad laws is to denounce them to the very oracles who are charged with their interpretation. It is impossible to convey any adequate idea of the sensation caused in the profession by yesterday's occurrence. Even the Tory partizans of the Bar feel and admit that they have received a blow by the publication of this affair in the coun try. The question is—admitting the Jury ought to be compensated, should the Bench, without any authority, establish a principle evidently open to great abuses ? The Chief Baron, in attempting to sneer down discussion on the subject, has betrayed a partiality which speaks vo lumes on the state of Ireland. COURT CIRCULAR. The Hon. Mr. Lamb, only son of Viscount Melbourne, expired at an early hour yesterday morning, at the residence of his Lordship, in South-street.

An appeal from the Court of Sudder Dewanny Adawlut, at Bengal, Motee Lal Oppudhier v. Juggernauth Gurg, occupied the whole of the day. Messrs. Miller and Wigram were beard for the ap pellant. Lord Brougham then intimated that their Lord ships did not intend to call upon the Counsel for the re spondent to reply, their Lordships considering that the appellant had not made out a case sufficiently strong, on the two objections urged by him, against the decree of the Court below, to justify their Lordships in reversing it. The decree of the Court below was therefore affirmed, but without costs. The Court met at ten o'clock, and sat till four o'clock.

LAW APPOINTMENTS,—Tha Freeman and the Post re main divided in opinion upon the recent appointment of Mr. Barrington to the Accountant-Generalship. In the report of the important proceedings which took place at the last meeting of the General Association, which we were en abled to lay before our readers on Saturday, it was seen that Mr. O'Connell approved of the appointment. With respect to the last appointment, that of Mr. Kane, to the new Assistant-Barristership, the Mail protests that it is a piece of Mr. S. Rice's jobbery. And although the Free man admits that Mr. Kane is an excellent man, our Con temporary, nevertheless, affirms that the influence through which the appointment was made is ill-omened ; and, viewed in connection with Mr. Barrington's appointment, but little calculated to benefit the Government. LONGFORD ELECTION.—The election for Longford will take place some time about the 20th of next month. No Conservative candidate is yet named. It is generally be lieved that Mr. Luke White's success is certain. A depu tation of " six well trained agitators , " according to Mr. O'Connell's suggestion , are about proceeding to the scene of action. Their exertions will no doubt be effectual ; nor will the funeral procession of Reilly, the victim to the tithe rebellion-writ system, fail to produce that deep and indig nant feeling against misrule, which is amongst the most powerful auxiliaries of a wise and liberal course of policy. DUNGAEYAN ELECTION.—Some of the Conservative provincial prints, are trying what chance there is of making poor John Matthew come forward for the nonce, but Mr. Pierse George Barron will walk over the course ; he pos sesses the two material qualifications, of being one of the resident gentry, and an honest politician. His opinions are generally known to be in strict accordance with those of the present Irish goVernment, and in Parliament we ex pect to find him a valuable acquisition to the Melbourne Administration.— Waterford Chronicle. CITY REGlSTRY.—Yesterday was the 17th day of the registration, when the Orangemen registered 10, and the Liberals only 4 votes. The Freeman says "it is useless to deny the fact that there are traitors in the Liberal camp." TILE JOINT STOCK BANKS.—We have now the great pleasure of stating that the run upon all the Bank.; has nearly subsided. In Clonmel it is remarkable that there was no run at all, the Provincial and the National Bank nuing their operations and their discounts in the midst of the panic, to the great convenience and profit of the traders of that bustling and thriving town.— Dublin Evening Post.—[Our Contemporary's assertion is fully borne out by the provincial papers. Declarations of confidence in Joint Stock Banks, and resolutions to support them, are general throughout the provinces. At Cork and other places trade and commerce have resumed their usual course.] TITHE CANIPAIGN.—ReiIIy, the tithe victim, died on his way to his home, in Longford, on the 23d instant. Thou sands of the people had prepared to meet him and welcome him ; but they only met his remains. They then formed a funeral procession, and carried the corpse by the door of Dean Murray. This death happens very mat a propos for the Orangemen of Longford—just at the eve of the election. The Freeman says " the coffin of this victim of sacerdotal rapacity will be the rostrum from whence the agi tators will "address the electors ; and then asks, where is the the heart that will not throb at an appeal made under such circumstances ? COUNTY OF LINIELICK.—It appears likely, from the fol lowing, that the death of another old man is about to be added to the claims of the Church Militant upon the sup port of the people :—" The Rebellion Rut Hans have been carrying on the crusade in the neighbourhood of Six-mile bridge, this week. On Wednesday, they edited upon an old man, named James Malone, aged 75 ! ! ! and dragged him into the county goal amidst the execrations of the peo. pie. Poor Malone is, we understand, in a wretched state of health, and it is thought he will not survive many days in gaol. Oh, Chri s ti a n c h ar ity !—Li mer i c k S tar . WESTMEATH.—In the King's Bench yesterday, a condi tional rule was obtained against the Marquis of Westmeath, to stay proceeding s in forty-four writs, which the Most Noble tithe claimant had caused to be issued for small sums. —Dublin Evening Post. THE PACKETS— 1 m HE rosT-OrFicr.•--Our Contempo raries are making loud complaints of the manner in which the newspaper transmission department of the General Post one and all, in D u bli n an d the Office is conducted. They, provinces, complain of the non -receipt of papers, and the non-delivery of their own to sub scr ib ers. We are oblige d to join in this. complaint. Not a day passes that we do not receive a complaint of non-delivery. We remonstrated with the proper officers, but all in vai n — t h e i n j ury to our property still remains unredressed. The only course we hove now left is to inemoriali4e the Lords of the l'reasury on TILE SUN, _LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26. 1836 the subject, and we call on all our Contemporaries to do the same. Let them do as the petitioners to the House of Parliament do—send in separate memorials, and load their Lordships' tables with their complaints. Then they will get redress. Pass by, at once, all petty officers. One of our subscribers writes us, " There appears to have been a general pillage of newspapers on Saturday last. Not one arrived in this town.—Wate,fwq Chronicle.—Th(. same Journal affirms that " The abuses at the head of the Post-Office Department, are as palpable a , they arc intolerable. For the last week, the Mil ford and Dunmore steam-packets, with one exception, have not arrived at this harbour until late in the evening ; and, generally, not until after nightfall. The additional postage lately levied on English letters, via Milford, was under the ostensible pretext of improving the South Wales' roads, and placing a superior class of vessels on the station. St far, however, from any improvement, the station has under= gone a most evident change for the worse ; in short, then never was sack a shameful, dishonourable, and dishonest ex hibition of indifference to the wants and wishes of a large trading community. We use the word dishonourable, be cause the direct promise made to the memorial of the merchants and traders of Waterford, has been violated ; and we say dishonest, because an additional tax has been levied on the letters, for an alleged purpose, which pur pose has not been fulfilled. hied such conduct been prac tised by an individual, or a private company, it would have been justly designated a fraudulent transaction ; but the elevation of the persons concerned in this case shelters their delinquency, For all the benefit the public at present derive from the packet station in the south of Ireland, it might be abolished altogether, as their letters frequently arrive as soon, and with more certainty, by the Dublin post. This misconduct is a serious loss to the revenue, as it pre vents the intercourse and profit which would be the result of a speedy communication between both countries." Our opinions on the defects of the system under which the affairs of the Post-office are conducted, have frequently been full) and freely expressed. The evils arc in the system, and until an efficient corrective be applied to that system, it were as unjust prematurely to charge Colonel Maberly, or any other individual among the functionaries acting under it, as it is manifestly foolish to expect the sudden disappear ance of all legitimate grounds of complaint. The Sun of Monday, which was of course due on Wednesday morning at ten o'clock, did not roach its destination at Waterford until the following Thursday. A delay of this kind is not merely an inconvenience to the members of the Press, but the public service is injured, and the public interests are damaged by a delay in the transmission of public intelligence FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. Pants, Nov. 26.—The Sentinelle de Bayonne. of the 22d says :—" The reports lately spread respecting the tak ing of the suburb called Old Bilboa, are contradicted by the following facts ; the reports of which we speak fixed the taking of Old Bilboa on the 17th ; now, letters of the 19th speak, on the contrary, of the resolution which is daily more decided of the National Guards to bury them selves under the ruins of the city. Every house is fortified, and should the enemy even succeed in entering it, he would not yet be master of it. There was, however, a ground for these reports. Two isolated houses before Old Bilboa, called Barrio de Mena were taken ; this event, exaggerated as usual, gave rise to a report that the town was taken. At the beginning the Carlists might have hoped to take Bilboa by a coup de main ; but at present the enter prise is more difficult, if not impossible. The artillery and the garrison are numerous, and admirably seconded by the National Guard ; provisions, ammunition, and hands, are not wanting ; even the women rival the .men. With all these elements of a long and courageous defence, the aid of Espartero will not even be necessary to prevent the Carlists from entering Bilboa." The Indicateur of Bordeaux says that Bilboa still held out on the 21st., and it adduces by way of proofs, extracts from the Phare of the 21st. We suppose that the Indica. taur only meant to say that it was known at Bayonne on the 21st that Bilboa was not taken. It is possible, however, and we hope that Bilboa will hold out long enough to be relieved, or to turn out the assailants by its resistance.— Journal du Commerce ' Nov. 22. (From the French Papers of Friday and Saturday.) Princess Lioven intends to spend the winter in Paris, and has engaged an apartment in the splendid Hotel de la Terrasse, Rue de Rivoli. The Princess pays frequent visits to the Royal family, by whom she is treated with dis tinction and great affection.—Courrier Francais. A profusion of proclamations from Don Miguel, a u . nouncing his intention to return to Portugal, were buted in Parts yesterday. This pretended :ioeurnent, ac companied by s ome mos t disgus*.:. ng pamphlets against Queen Donna Maria, is, Lowever, devoid of all proof of authenticity. The new American Minister to the Court of France, Mr. Lewis Cass, has arrived in Paris. He alighted at the Hotel Meurice. The Prince de Jolnville, although he performed a qua rantine of fifteen days at Malta, must, in compliance with the sanitary regulations, remain as many more on board the Iphigcnic, in the roadstead of Toulon, before lie land s; and consequently will not arrive in Paris till the Bth or 10th of December. We are happy to learn that his Royal Highness is in excellent health. The Journal de Cherbourg states, that upwards of 70 merchant ships have been forced to take shelter in that harbour from the extreme violence of the gales from the south and south-east ; and were waiting for a favourable change to continue on their way to the coasts of Brittany and the colonies. The legitimist Journal La France gives the following dated Goritz, 16th inst. :-" The obsequies of Charles X. took place on Friday. The inhabitants displayed great grief, and mourning was generally worn. The procession was followed, not only by the garrison and the authorities, but by many persons of distinction. The crowd observed perfect silence ; the shops were shut, and many houses were hung with black. The cortege proceeded to the cathedral, where high mass was performed, and afterwards went on to the Franciscan Convent, which is a short distance from the town, and where the body was deposited in a vault. The Dukes of Angouleme and Bordeaux followed on foot. The Duke and Duchess of Angouleme, and the young Prince and Princess, and all those who are with them, are enjoying good health ; the whole of the Royal Family are assembled together at the residence of the Count de Stras soldo. The town is perfectly healthy, and the cholera no more thought of, as it had completely disappeared from the environs and the whole of the north of Italy. La Franc e adds, that the Count de St. Aulaire, the French Ambas sador to the Court of Vienna, on hearing the news of the death of Charles X., shed tears, and returning hom e imme diately was the first to put on mourn ing."

MADRID, .Nov. 20 .—Rodil refused to deliver up his command to the General sent under him, or to receive even the dispatches of the Government from the hands of the Commissioner Cardero ; but, on the contrary, threatened to have him shot, and sent him under a guard to the next town to make the best of his way to Madrid. As soon as Cardero was left by the escort with which Roth' had obliged him, he went to the Constitutional Alead e of the place. showed him his authority, gave him the Government dis patches, and charged him on pain of death to go to Rodil's head-quarters, and instantly deliver the dispatches of the Government to that General. At the same time he wrote to Ribero the second in command, to inform him that Rodil was displaced, and' ho invested with the command ; and to various leading officers of the corps, threatening them with the displeasure of the Government if they obeyed an order of the traitor General. Cardero had been likewise accompanied by a friend to the head-quarters of Roth!, who while he was with that General was busy com municating the object of his visit to two or three Chiefs of known fidolity so that ; by the time the Alcade r rive, 3, 1 Rohl had begun to discover that Cardero had beat him as completely as Gomez ; consequently, seeing Ii at the ground was taken from under him, and that he was likely to get nothing by resistance but a struggle, and a couple of brace of bullets in the back, he, without hesi tation, informed the Government that he had no sooner received their orders than he had obeyed. He is sent to I3adajoz, where the Government have ordered him to be tried by court-martial. Unless this is a different court .martial from any since the death of the King, it will be gin, and be continued, and never end. Rola will he for gotten, until some new convulsions throw him up again— a favourite general of somebody or other, or perhaps a Mi. (lister, a Patriot, a Republican, a Carlist, or what not. Ro dil is a man of very small powers of intellect ; but civil, facile, and active. He is said to be easily governed by those about him—has no principles—is greedy of money— a good deal of low ambition, and very cold-blooded. Few men have executed more of the persons under his , orders than he has. He has never been successful either in America or in the Peninsula. He was always behind Don Carlos in Portugal. He was always too late in Navarre, Ind La Mancha, and Estremadura. He has always been what he called in one of his despatches, parallel to the centre. Opinion is pretty equally divided here as to whether he was bought over by the Carlists, or whether lie was playing some silly game with ultra-Exaltados in this plaCe. It is certain he has but to choose between being a fool or a traitor. In person Rodil is a good-looking, compact little gene ral, sprightly, active, and smooth-spoken, with rather handsome military-looking features, somewhat weather beaten, and about fifty years of age. He is inclined to be corpulent, but in Navarre was accounted by his own staff the most indefatigable restless officer in Spain. If he slept at all, he slept in his boots. Plinter, the unfortu nate brigadier, our countrymen, who, betrayed and sold by Rodil, is now dragged a prisoner by the sanguinary rabble of Gomez, was the chief of the staff of his van guard, and used to say that though he had. called Rodil at all hours of the night, in all weathers, in the worst of coun tries, and after the most fatiguing marches, he never found Rodil undressed, and never in bed. General Alaix was, I believe, a sergeant. He is popu lar in his division, chiefly because he is the dirtiest man in his army, disdains water and washing, entertains an enor mous black beard, and never quits a shako such as six feet grenadiers wear. He is terrible to look at, and the strongest man in the Queen's army. What he has been about since Villorobledo is perfectly incomprehensible, and . unless one adopts the easy interpretation of traitor, it is difficult to divine what his conduct means. Can he and Rodil have been in some diabolical combination, or has Rodil paralysed him by secret orders is It must be told that a most suspicious circumstance has transpired with regard to Rodil since his conduct has been so much canvassed, and one only wonders that it was not talked of before ; but in this Strange country one cannot count upon any thing. An offiLier was in the prison of Madrid as a, Carlist, his name Baiquez. He had been with Zumalacarregui ; had left him and gone to Paris ; had made up some story to the Duke of Fries ; got a passport to return to Spain by Bar celona. Mina sent him out of Barcelona ; he came to Madrid, the general home of all intriguers, and was re cognised in a cafe by an officer who had been opposed to him in Navarre, and who, being a Navarrese, accused him of having burnt his house, robbed him, murdered his kindred, and God knows what. The result is that Colonel Baiquez was handed to prison, to take his trial under pre vious charges (he had escaped from prison twice) of being a Carlist conspirator. Three days before Rodil left Madrid he secretly, that is without noise, took Baiquez from prison, and put him as a principal officer on his own staff, where he has been during all Rodil's quixotic marches and counter marches in the classic plains of La Mancha. Narvaez is a fine military-looking man, stout, jovial in appearance, active and alert, with as good spirits as talent, ambition, the consciousness of possessing plenty of re sources, and an enormous appetite, can make a man of forty. His bravery is undisputed ; fighting is his elernotit, and he has not been raised and fostered in the arm by se: c , men as Cordova and Seoane, because he was Tali; but he has a General's head, and reminds in y strongly of one of our young Generals qf , - at only, or a Calvert. Of him have s army, a Picton Spain. If he .eettaltes " and ....ome . z, Gomez is ruined . his rabble, ; but I f- / "opes - , * in common with all all the fight w ilt ' Gomez is well aware of this, and as • ne a race, no one knows who will win, for Go- L aud a tremendous start. Where all these combatants are at this moment no one knows—not even the Government. The neighbourhood of Seville is probably occupied at this moment by Narvaez and Ribero, and perhaps Gomez is seeking the mountains of the Serrania de Ronda. He will thus endeavour to wind along mountains all the way from the Sierra Nevada and the Al pujarras to the mountains of Aragon. It is said Cabrera left him in Truxillo with 400 horse, and has made his way across the country to,Aragon, by Ciudad Real, Valdepenas, Albacete, &c. This is very possible, and also that he carries with him three waggon loads of money. Certain it is that the other day a letter was received here from Manzanares, stating that the milieu and troops in that town, united from all the country round, were entrenching themselves in some ancient fortifications, and determined to resist to the last. To resist what i According to their own showing, 700 cavalry, laden with gold, occupying a town about twelve or fifteen leagues off. This would be incredible were not the tremendous moral effect of Rodil's conduct taken into consideration. From Espartero the latest date is the 14th of this month (printed in the Gazette by mistake the 16th). He has been attempting to cut off Sanz in his return to Navarre, and failed altogether. Sanz has got through, apparently at leisure, though there is no doubt but that his expedition has been an utter failure. He has met with nothing but hard blows. Half his force has been extinguished, and all his cavalry, which, it is said, was the best the Pretender had. But lie has got back, and, it will be represented ; covered with glory and laden with plunder. Glory and plunder often in official despatches in this country mean .nothing more than hunger and r ags . The French General, Lebeau, attacked Estella on the Bth, threw 150 grenades (printed .50 in the Gazette by mistake), into the town, and then retired—God knows why or wherefore. This was intended as a diversion for Bilboa which the Carlists never fairly left, and have been hammer ing at again now for some time. It is royal sport to get upon a bill, and knock a town down about people's ears, By ibis time, however, Espartero must have marched, though, if the truth must be told, he had not, at the date of his last dispatch, been able to march for two days for want of shoes. Th e d est i tut i on w hi ch his army is in is ter rible, as are admirable their good temper and enthusiasm in the midst of all their privations. However, before now, Espartero has marched, and pro bably the siege of Bilboa ip raised—it may be that be t„ had to fight a battle. Espartcro is a brave fine but all who know him tremble when there is ow ° .estion of his having a battl e t o fight. C 0 ItTE S. SEss'n e oF Nov. 17. P The Session of this dae Report of the CO opened with the di scuss i on o f t h e Cep- respecting- the extin c ti on o f t h e n b the n ame o f " P rop i os. " These propios a " o f fices P' .an d sk nf— . yestates belonging to civic corporations, and the proceeds intended to be applied to defray the public ex pence. MM. Armendariz and Valdes opposed their cx Unction, on the ground that the Corporations of every town and village were better able to manage their concerns than the provincial deputations assembled in the capitals; and MM. Fontau and Carrera de Nevares supported the Re port, from their conviction that the Corporations frequently abused their power, and saddled their districts with a load of debt uselessly contracted, and, besides, that those offices were unnecessary when provincial deputations were esta blished. The Report of the Committee was agreed to. The Chamber then proceeded to discuss the Report of the Finance Committee relative to the loan of 200 millions of reals. It was conceived as follows : " Ist. The Government is authorised to obtain the ad vance of 200 millions, with the precise condition that ifs proceeds be dedicated to the maintenance and equipment of the standing army , " 2d. The Government is to inform the Cortes by the 15th of January next at the fa'rthest, of the state of the in gress of this loan. "3d. The CoMmittee is of opinion that the Cortes should authorise Government to make use of the proceeds of the bells and other effects belonging to the suppressed convents, for the purpose of affording resources to Govern ipent to meet the most urgent necessities of the State." M. Mendizabal defended the conduct of Government, and the necessity of acceding to the present proposal. The Government, he assured the Cortes and the nation, would scrupulously fulfil this and all their other engagements, and added that the reimbursement of this advance should be made by means of Treasury bills, which from the Ist of March would he admitted in part payment of contributions and duties. He implored the House, if possible, to pass the measure unanimously, as by doing so they would strengthen the Government, and render the ingress of the proposed loan comparatively easy. SITTING OF NOV. 18. The de b ate o f the preceding day was resumed. M. Cardero, Deputy for Leon, and who dresses in the old style of the mountaineers of that province, with a huge broad-trimmed hat, short jacket, and loose trousers tied immediately below the knees, rose to speak for the first time. He proceeded to prove that the distribution of the quotas assigned by the Government to each province, was unjust, and particularly so as regarded his native province, which was in a state of utter misery. He agreed, however, to the necessity of authorising the Government to raise two iundred millions, but combatted the manner in which the quotas were assigned, The report of the Committee was agreed to. The first article of the National Militia Committee's Re port, expressing that every Spaniard of the age of 18 to .50, is obliged to belong to the National Militia, was agreed to. The second, which specified the description of persons to be exempted from this service, was discussed, • and, witl a slight modification, approved of. The third was then ma( and soon afterwards the Chamber broke up. A Committee of Deputies was appointed to e.nnfilimem the Queen on her Saint's day. SITTING OF NOV. 19. M. Caballero. opposed the report of the Special Commit tee on the Regency. The Cortes ought not to abandon their prerogatives for the term of twelve years, which the minority bad still to last. The 198th article of the Consti was then real at Caballero's request. M. Arguelles replied, and combatted M. Caballero's ar gumants ; and as regarded the 198th article of the Const tution he remarked that the Constitution alluded to, we mule for other times, and that the actual Cortes passesse ample facilities to alter it. M. Ayllon said that be accorded fully with the Coin mittec that the Regency should be confided to the Queci Mother, and proposed the following amendment :—" Tin general Cortes of the kingdom confirm the title of Queen. Regent in the Queen Mother, with the authority and in. violability of such." M. Bertram de Lis supported the Report of the Com mittee, and was glad of the opportunity which the present declaration of the Cortes afforded him of giving the lie to the foreign Powers, who imagine that the wishes of the Deputies of the Spanish nation have no bounds, whereas they now give a proof of the contrary. M. Vila also supported the motion. M. Calatrava approved of M. Vila's short speech, and answered M. Caballero's objections. M. Olosaga followed on the same side, and stated that his only object in speaking was to signify his vote, and that in his opinion the discussion should not be continued any longer, as all the objections made by the few Deputies who had spoken on the other side bad been triumphantly answered. The Chamber then divided, and there appeared for the motion 124 deputies, and 6 against it. The following deputies composed the minority :—Garcia Blanco, Caballero, Montaya, Osca, Charco, and Go rozarri. BELGIUM BRUSSELS, Nov. 26.—The Chamber of Representatives have commenced the discussion of a law relative to crimes and offences committed by Belgian subjects in foreign countries ; some amendments having been proposed, are to be discussed in the sitting of to-day. AMSTERDAM, NOV. 23.—The Court of Assize yesterday condemned a clipper of the coin of the realm to fifteen years' imprisonment in the House of Correction, to be branded and whipped ; and his accomplice, a woman, ten years' imprisonment in the House of Correctiop, and to stand in the pillory. ?SE LMANFUNDS—Bnussuts, Nov.

The greater portion of the division which sailed under Tahir Pasha's orders fi. 'Tripoli has returned, and is also dismantling. The Secretary of the Capitan Pasha arrived here on hoard of one of these ves sels, in order to make communications to the Divan. It is said that he has been authorized to lodge severe complaints against the Britilf authorities at Tripoli.

BREMEN, Nov. 14.—The exportation of corn from this port to the United States has not yet diminished. Last week so many ships were freighted to convey wheat, that that there was a want of ships to convey other goods to America. A. large quantity or: Saxon woollen manufac tures had arrived for a house at New York, with directions to ship them immediately ; but the commissioner here could not find a ship. With respect to the prices of cotton it is expected that if the cultivation of cotton increases, as it has lately done, the produce will exceed the consumption, and then the prices must necessarily fall.

The Senate has been commlied to issue an order to all the householders to admit art Austrian officers who shall present themselves, with a view to take up their residence in their dwellings, The Commanding General (Kauffman) has levied a small contribution on the poor shopkeepers, He Las required them to furnish him gratis with nie.ety pounds of wax, and some hundred pounds of talle. - , v ;can dles, so that he may now light up his saloons, kt no great expense, on gala days, and whenever our protectors of Austria a nd R uss i a t hi n k proper to rave!, over our misfor tunes.

Several English gentlemen lately viited. Cracow. The foreign residents have been foiled in the expectation of obtaining the return of deputies devoted to their masters. Instead.of the old members, who thought of nothing but their ownt personal interests, the electors have chosen energetic young men, an d amongst others Messrs. Hoctzel, Lapalski, Patelski, Sce. The latter was implicated in the late revo lution of Poland. The Consuls, frightened at this result, resolved on preventing the meeting of the Diet,,under pre tence that the Senate could not prepare the budget of the Republic before the entire organization of the Militia, and you nirast know that this delay is entirely owing to the ill win of those agents themselves. Every public situation is filled by Austrians. For four vacant commissions in the Militia there are no less than 17 Austrian candidates. AM. Gutt, Director of the Police of Podgorze (Austria), has been named Chief of the Po lice of Cracow. It is now said that the Diet will not he opened before January, nor would the. session take place even then but for M. Haller, the President, who protested in a most spirited and decided manner'against the contem plated violation of the constitution, in deferring the meet ing of the Diet, and addressed his protest to the conference. On the other hand, the Austrians evince a decided ha tred of the Russians ; something consolatory may result from their divisions—we hope so at least. It would appear that we are not to have a British Con sul at Cracow. The three foreign agents have been often heard to say, that the sending of a British Consul to Cracow would be deemed a declaration of war ! on Saturday last Sir Edward Dering's hounds met at Scott's-hall, in Smeeth ;on which occasion (it being the Hon. Baronet's birth-day) upwards of 50 horsemen and a considerable number of pedestrians were present. The stag selected for the day was Robin Hood, the one which has af forded such excellent snort on former occasions. He pro ceeded at a rapid rate towards Dymchurch, closely followed by the huntsmen and hounds, when, on reaching a place be tween Dyinchurch and Hythc, the sea suddenly presented it self. The noble animal, however, nothing daunted, did not alter his course, but made directly for the watery element, which on reaching he sprang into, and bad swam some dis tance before his pursuers arrived. Mr. Frank Geary, a n d some other gentlemen, seeing the danger which threatened him, immediately launched a boat, and thus endeavoured to save the poor animal's life; their efforts, however, were un availing, as, before they could reach him, he had sunk, never to rise again. It is needless to say that this entirely spoiled. the pleasure of the day. Robin Hood was a particular fa vourite of Sir Edward Dering, and one which he valued very highly.—Kentish Observer. FnIR Rut.; IN BEDFORDSIIIIIE.-011 Friday, the 11th instant, Mr. Deltne Radcliffe's Hounds had one of the most e7,-.troar dinary runs on record in these parts, crossing the county of Bedford in a direct line from Birmingham, on the Hereford shire side, to King's Wood, on the opposite borders of the county of Buckingham. The meeting was at the far-famed Warden Hills, and was attended by the Marquis of Tavistock, Lord C. Russell, and the usual winkling of sportsmen from* the Oakley side. After killing a dodging fox la covert t'ae pack got away with a gallant fellow, who broke in face of the field, and disdained the shelter of a single covert till he reached. the Duke of Bedford's domain at Woburn Abbey, twelv e miles distant as the crow would fly. He took by Sundon, pe.Mting for Harbington, thence through the part of the masgnificent vale of Toddingtou—leaving Toddington village to the right for Battlesden—thence to the right for Palmeri Skrubs, on to, Milton Wood—through the covert--skirted Woburn Park crossed the Holyhead-road close to Brickhill., and ran in view into King's Wood, where two or three fresh foxes happily afforded him a well-earned place of refu ge . The hounds were immediately stopped, as well as all 'horses, which had not pre viously declired on their own account, and the most sangui nary of the followers of such a fox could not hut rejoice that he " lived to fight another day." The first fifty minutes, without cheek, all over fine grazing pastures, inferior to none of the best in Leicestershire, was a treat seldom enjoyed ilu the provinces, and the character of the fencing so highly, an 3, indeed, widely, differing from that of the plains above ;, happy valley," was such as to deter any but the " chosen few" from following the line of these. The master of the pack, Lord C. Russell, Mr. J. Drake, a few other scarlets, and two or three more right good ones, in green and black, were with Boxhall, the huntsman, at the tail of the hounds throughout. Several made a lucky nick at Battlesden, and more arrived by the road by Woburn. It is but justice to the establishment to add, that the working of the pack was the ad-, miration of all judges, and that, though sixteen miles of coir.i. try were thus traversed from point to point, not a hound ws missing at the finish. We have just heard, from another cor respondent, that these hounds, on their next huntin g dux' (Monday last), kill e d t h e i r fox after runn;ng a line of country not less extraordinary than above rer - orded ; but we have o;.i/y room to say, that our informant ttates, that, after killing their first fox from Pansanger, ttey went away with a second from Brarnfield Gorse, aeros try, by Wood Hall the best part of the Puek-eridge Coun and Watton, through Frogmore up to Ben nington, a!ul Hall to Yardley, a distance of twelve miles; straiht, 'without one check, and at a pace which prevented alit but 'a fraction of a large field from arriving at any knowledge ,. of the thing. TURKEY. ' CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 3.—The plague is still working dreadful ravages, and although in the week ending on Sa turday the list from the Greek Hospital showed a slight diminution in the number of cases, say from IGO to 144, which was probably owing to the heavy rains that fell a few days ago, it is to be feared that it has resumed all its I revious malignity. The total of deaths iS reported to have been 9,150, but on what authority I cannot say, since the Scraskier has positively refused to furnish any further reports to the embassies. His m otive is said to be a su perstitious one, it being accounted a b a d omen by the Turks to mention numbers ; some of them were carrying this notion so far, as to feel angry if asked even the num ber of their children. Be this as it may, we have other and appalling evidence that it is on the increase ; the dead are now removed three or four together in a coffin, and there is scarcely a family at Constantinople that has not sustained a loss. The population is already deci mated. The Government, I am happy to say, is at length .roused to the n ecessity of taking some precautions ; the Itnaums are directed to certify and report every case oc curring in th e ir respective wards, and at Beshik 'fast), in the neighbourhood of the Sultan's palace, sentinels are placed at the doors of all those who are compromised. Orders have also been issued to close the bazaar, where • clothes are disposed of; or the rag -fair of Constantinople, which there is no doubt has hitherto proved a hot-bed for the disease. An Egyptian cutter arrived 'here on the 27th ult. with despatche s trom. Mehemet Ali to the Porte of the highest political importance. After dwelling on the anxiety he experiences in establishing on a firmer basis the good har mony between his sovereign and himself, Mehemet Ali proposes to the Porte the sending for this object to Egypt of Mushir Ahmet Pasha. On the arrival of a person enjoying so deservedly as this Pasha the esteem 'and confi dence of the Sultan, no sacrifice on his part would, he as sures the Porte, be spared to insure the happy results which he anticipates from an interview with him. SD tin expected an application on the part of the hitherto haughty anti intractable satrap powerfully excited the sur prise of the Divan, After protracted deliberations, this Col. and Lady Laura Myrick have arrived at Raby Castle, on a visit to the Duke of Cleveland, from their seat, A übiues, Suffolk. - -- beat CO Uli Si/VG.
